Calm Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I am reading Kate Kelly's blog on last night and she keeps referring to the Tabernacle. I thought they were going to the Convention Center. Is the standby line only for the Tabernacle?
Scott Lloyd Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I am reading Kate Kelly's blog on last night and she keeps referring to the Tabernacle. I thought they were going to the Convention Center. Is the standby line only for the Tabernacle?Overflow seating is in the Tabernacle. I think the standby line is on Temple Square, regardless of whether one ends up in the Conference Center or elsewhere.
Calm Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 So there might have been empty seats...I can't remember if my 'sources' on the full seating were only in the CC.
Scott Lloyd Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 So there might have been empty seats...I can't remember if my 'sources' on the full seating were only in the CC.Am I remembering incorrectly that women were to be admitted to some of the overflow locations?
Calm Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Am I remembering incorrectly that women were to be admitted to some of the overflow locations?Found this.... Tickets are required to enter the Conference Center, where attendees will need to pass through a security check. Cameras, recording devices, weapons, food, backpacks, packages and large bags will not be allowed. A stand-by line for those without tickets will begin at the north gate of Temple Square.Overflow seating will be available in the Tabernacle, the North Visitors’ Center on Temple Square and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building for all sessions. Overflow seating will also be available in the Conference Center Theater for priesthood and Sunday sessions only. Overflow seating for Spanish speakers will be provided in the Assembly Hall for all five sessions. Tickets are not required for admission to overflow facilities. http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/thousands-attend-183rd-semiannual-general-conference
Calm Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Maybe this is what led you to that conclusion...: Todd also invited the women to “view the live priesthood session broadcast, as well as the other general conference sessions, on lds.org, The Mormon Channel or BYUtv.” http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865586996/LDS-Church-responds-to-priesthood-meeting-request-by-activists.html

Stone holm Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 The church will confront issues such as ordaining women because the liberal mores of the time demand that it does so. Likewise for other issues that are now out there. When the social mores were more conservative the church fit into the world like a nice glove on a hand. But now, as social more have become much more relative, it will face such issues as ordaining women etc. This is no different than what the catholic church experiences. Much easier to go with the flow...much more difficult to swim upstream. The lds church is not like many other churches because the concept of the priesthood is different. Boys get the priesthood. I know of no other church that does this. This is not about sending off someone to seminary school so that they can be a priest or a pastor. It comes from the grassroots of boyhood. For the lds church to ordain girls, much would have to change in the lds structure. And it would not sit easily with many members and many mormon women would leave the fold, if seen as social pressure.Interesting analysis if you start Church history say around the beginning of the 20th Century, otherwise it more or less folds up.
Rivers Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Maybe the the OW group should have gone to stake centers to watch the satellite broadcast. They would have been with other priesthood holders and it would have been a more realistic goal.

Yep, and then we might have seen a Stake President do something truly awkward out in the boonies somewhere which would have been flashed across the National media.
